Even before Charlotte Lewis raised more questions about Roman Polanski‘s continued predation after pleading guilty to statutory rape, Michael Douglas said that he wouldn’t sign a petition for him because Polanski “did break the law.” [Associated Press]
Polanski’s lawyers, naturally, went the victim-shaming route (so edgy!) and his lead supporter, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, said that Lewis’ statement didn’t change his mind because, really, it’s all about the shameful legal proceedings. Riiiight. [Agence France Presse]
One of Charlotte Lewis‘ childhood friends says that she wasn’t promiscuous as a teenager, not that having sex means you can’t be raped, and isn’t a liar. He thinks she came forward now because she doesn’t care about Hollywood’s rules any longer. [Radar Online]
KISS bassist and nauseating sex tape maker Gene Simmons filed suit against ESPN make-up artist Victoria Jackson, whose lawyers demanded $185,000 from Simmons to keep from filing a harassment suit. She claims he ground he pelvis into her; he claims his armored costume would have prevented it. Having seen the sex tape, I can vouch for the utter lack of movement in Simmons’ hips, at least.

Amanda Seyfried has panic attacks and wants to have a career in acting, rather than a moment. Also, her publicists want her to stop being self-deprecating in interviews because they are idiots. [LA Times]
Cameron Douglas has finally been transferred to the minimum security prison at which he is expected to serve out the remainder of his sentence. True to form, despite his years-long heroin addiction, they have no plans to treat him for drug abuse until shortly before he will be released, because our prison system is seriously fucked up.

Elton John dedicated a song that I can now not get out of my head (“I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”) to Vanessa Redgrave and she cried and thanked him. Feel free to hum that the rest of the day. [Page Six]

Queen Latifah and her personal trainer, Jeanette Jinkins, purchased a home together in California.
